Case unsolved in teen's murder

Parents seek answers, police have no leads

Parents of a teenage murder victim are still seeking answers to their son’s unsolved murder case.

Three years ago, Everett Williams Jr. was shot when he was waiting for a bus ride home near 48th and Bedford streets. His parents, Yvonne and Everett Williams Sr., said their 15-year-old son's murder case destroys them.

“I heard some names, but the police officers said there were no good leads,” Yvonne said.

Detectives said they have investigated everything. Just days before his death, his friend was gunned down. Police made an arrest in that case but could not connect it to Everett's death. Police said they looked into his trouble with the law for stealing, but could not find a motive or a clue to who would have killed him.

“Obviously, we look into whether or not this was an initiation, or random or specifically targeted,” said Sgt. Teresa Negron.

His family believes someone planned to shoot him and that there could be witnesses because it was in the daylight.

“I think a lot of people knew what was going on. It was something that he knew. I really feel that,” his father said.

His father said his son was going through a rough time. He recalled trying to talk to him the day he died, but his son stayed quiet.

Williams Jr. would have been a senior at Benson High School this year. His parents and police ask for anyone with information to call police at 402-444-7867.
